These plants yield an amazing number of blunt, 3-inch peppers. As its name suggests, it ripens earlier than other jalapeño varieties. It also resists sunburn due to thick foliage. Each compact plant produces 20-30 fruits each! We think this is the perfect multi-use pepper, great for canning or pickling or for a flavorful addition to salsa or soups. This pepper has just the right amount of heat. We have heard reports of some jalapenos not having any heat. This is not the case with our line of jalapeno. Great heat here.
